I've used the die and embossing folder set that came with a recent issue of Papercraft Essentials.
For the lower part of the leaf I took white card and used a coarse sponge to "stipple" layers of yellow, orange, green and light tan ink over it then spritzed it with gold pigment powder mixed with water. You can't really see the sheen on the photo but here's a close up that might give a better idea of it.
I used an opaque lemon embossing powder and Versamark ink on the brown card to stamp and emboss the sentiment - I experimented with several combinations of ink and powder and this gave me the closest I could get to the cream background card.
I am sharing this with

Beautiful card, Jane, perfect for sending to,a man. I remember seeing these lovely Papercraft Essentials freebies, but resisted the temptation to buy the magazine. After seeing your card, I should have let the magazine fall into my basket! xx
This is beautiful. I love that leaf!

Very masculine card. The way you have created the leaf is fab. I can see the sheen. Hugs Mrs A.
Gorgeous card love the embossing folder, the simplicity of the design makes it a "star" although that leaf is gorgeous.
